A Turkish drone strike in northern Iraq's Al-Sulaymaniyah Governorate killed three people on Wednesday, with reports confirming the destruction of the vehicle they were in. The victims, whose identities remain unknown, were incinerated beyond recognition, complicating identification efforts. This incident follows a pattern of increased Turkish military operations targeting the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in the region, which has led to significant civilian casualties over the years. Local officials and security sources have noted that the PKK is regarded as a terrorist organization by Turkey and its allies, and Ankara has maintained a military presence in northern Iraq for decades. The motives behind the recent drone attacks are still unclear, and investigations are underway. The ongoing conflict has heightened tensions in an already volatile area, underscoring the risks for civilians caught in military operations.
